Welcome to Siglufjörður and the gold-rush-like atmosphere of the once bustling historical herring town.
Your guide meets you at the pier and will walk with you to the award-winning Herring Era Museum. As part of your visit, you'll watch a fun and energetic live performance of the Herring Salt Show -- a total blast from the past. You will also learn how the 'herring girls' used to work.
Sample some traditional rye bread with local herring. Not your thing? After some Icelandic schnapps, it might be!
Learn all about the local history and culture of this wonderful town in the north before you walk back to the ship -- this is indeed a memorable slice of Iceland.
Please note: Tour requires some walking on paved surfaces. The museum is located within walking distance of the pier.
